  • Patent number: 9650174
    Abstract: The fillable closure is used to trigger the emptying of a capsule that can be inserted in the closure and filled separately. The closure consists of a closing cap which can be attached to the neck of a container and in which a separately fillable capsule can be inserted in the closed state from beneath. The region above the inserted capsule on the closing cap forms a push button. A downwardly projecting protuberance is molded on the lower face. The protuberance abuts against the inserted capsule. Using pressure from above, the push button can be pressed to deform an initially convex shape as seen from above into a concave shape, the protuberance pushing the upper face of the capsule and the content thereof downward. A film, which forms the lower face of the capsule, is thus placed under tensile stress such that it breaks or bursts along weakened lines.

  • Patent number: 8672154
    Abstract: The fillable closure with a triggering pushbutton comprises a filler neck (3) that is to be screwed onto or joined to a container neck (4) as well as a closure cap (1) which is associated to the filler neck (3) and can be joined, pivoted and snapped-on the filler neck (3) by means of a hinge connection. A separately fillable container (2) can be inserted into the filler neck (3), the container being closed at the bottom with a sealing foil (19) that can be pierced or cut open. The closure cap (1) comprises a cap cover as a pusher disc (7), which can be pressed downward in the axial direction while deforming. By pressing the cap cover downward on the container (2) inserted in the filler neck or on a rigid opening element accommodated therein, the opening element can be pressed downward so that the sealing foil (19) of the container (2) can be pierced and cut open.

  • Patent number: 5205202
    Abstract: The compressed air radial motor includes a supporting disc, supporting a plurality of fluid cells, which is pneumatically controlled by a control head disposed rotatably fixed in the motor housing and which is rotatably connected to a conical supporting disc supported on the motor shaft via the fluid cells, a diaphragm being disposed at the outer front side of the control head which, on the inner side, is under the flow pressure of the pressure medium flowing through the driving-side of the control head, and, on the other side, supports the control head against the supporting disc via a counter surface in the motor housing.

  • Patent number: 5018435
    Abstract: Fluid cell arrangement for compressed air radial motors, comprising a plurality of fluid cells arranged rosette-shaped to one another in a pressureless state and approximately plane for the alternate inflation of fluid cells, which are provided with air connector means and which are formed by welding two leaves of film or foil made of synthetic resin along the peripheries of the cells. In this connection, an endless elastic rubber cord or ring inserted between the two film leaves extends along the peripheries of the cells and is disposed in radial arrangement near the center of rotation, the two film leaves made of synthetic resin being disposed on both sides of the ring and completely enclosing the latter are welded together.
